I know some Internetters like to come on and drink up the "Haterade"
and bash the Sweet and Tender Hooligans - but there is a reason why they have
been such a
fantastic tribute since 1992: They are indeed a GREAT cover band!

Jose sums it up best when he changes the lyric from "You Have Killed
Me" to "Maldonado is me/and Morrissey- I'll NEVER Be!"

He knows he is not Moz- and the band knows they are not The Smiths or
Boz or Jesse or Alain or Andy or Mike or Gary, etc. - they are just
all big fans of the music and very devoted to putting on a great
show. This was also a charity event that raised money for The Lange
Foundation to help stray animals.

Last night at the L.A. House of Blues they packed the house with a
few thousand fellow fans celebrating Morrissey's "UnHappy Birthday" -
and it was an awesome experience.

Thank you for that, Hooligans!

Cheers and VIVA MOZ,

Jay
